#I love this series

[deargravity]

the raven cycle is a series meant to be read multiple times. i love that i never stop discovering something new, that there’s always something else to make a greater meaning out of, there will always be a connection i missed in my previous read or i will make another one in my next read, i’m relearning my favourite characters, rediscovering the same world over and over but the magic never fades. the magic always stays. the love is always there and i always close the books convinced i could never care about anything the way i do about this world and these characters who are also my best friends and my family. no matter how many times i read it i’ll always go back to it excited for what i’ll discover again. nothing has enchanted me this much and nothing ever will

I should be asleep

but can we just appreciate that the Animorphs finale shows how incredibly important 'soft power' is, politically?

if you're not familiar: soft power is making yourself appealing and interesting. it's what south Korea does! it puts a lot of money and effort, as a state, into k-pop and Korean food, and a whole lot more. as a result: if your country wanted to start shit with south Korea, you'd probably get really upset - you've got great feelings about south Korea! blackpink is amazing! you love Korean barbeque! you'd be protesting you'd be calling your representatives, you'd be fucking mad

this is on purpose.

hard power is militaristic. you don't want to fight a country with hard power, because they have nukes, or an itchy trigger finger, etc.

(i'm super simplifying this, i'm no expert)

Jake involves the civilians of the andalite home world. marco makes sure the military knows. they're hoping for some soft power - and it works. the military can't act first and tell the civilian population a propaganda version of what they did later. the civilians are watching.

this is soft power! this is diplomacy! and later in the postwar section- the andalite civilians coming over for tourism shit? that's more soft power! that's more normal andalites that think of earth as that charming planet with delicious food and isn't it funny how we balance on two legs? oh those juveniles were so brave!

this is an alternative to war, and i love it. i love how this was written, i love the context of soft vs hard power.

Saw a review of Wheel of Time S2 that said they depart from books by pulling the characters in too many directions with not enough to do and I was like "Dude, there's nothing more Robert Jordan than pulling the characters in too many directions with not enough to do"

LOVELY RUNNER (2024, SOUTH KOREA)

Episode 6

Post 1

Crying because of grannie's onions Im Sol (KIM HYE YOON) is misunderstood by crush Sun Jae (BYEON WOO SEOK) who believes she's crying over her break up. And drinking.

In efforts to get her to turn to him the two scuffle.

And Im Sol's older brother Im Geum (SONG JI HO) also misunderstands and sets out to protect his little sister.

Poor Sun Jae...oops.

It was starting to sink in that for the rest of my life, the people I met, the people I became close to—there would always be a chance that they saw me as a payout.

Ballad of Secrets

The Canary fell, but was not the first

An age of deceit, a broken curse

Slain at the hand of his ally another time

The light of The Stars has dimmed, gone past its prime

The Moon has set, a new era come

As The Sun shall rise, all pain undone

And as Mars died in a final war

Putting an end to the blood and gore

The Slayer's sword fell from her hand

And she joined the chorus, the rest of her band

And as Pluto stood at the Secret Keeper

Ready to meet the grim reaper

He was not yet done

He never would be

But Pluto was among them now

Now, and for all eternity
